LOL that reminds me of how insanely easy it'd be for students of MSU-Moorhead who are from Fargo or somewhere else nearby in North Dakota to vote in both states, since North Dakota doesn't even have voter registration, any adult with an ND driver's license can vote there.

Pretty much the case yes. In my example above, it wouldn't be any more difficult for said student in Minnesota to vote in both states even if Minnesota didn't have same day registration, they'd just have to register beforehand and keep their ND driver's license. (I did have an ND driver's license throughout college, but even if I was willing to commit vote fraud I wouldn't be willing to drive 8 hours to do so.)

Same day registration is horrible. I've worked the polls every election in Connecticut for the past 5 years, and it would just be a disaster. If you really want to vote, why don't you just go ahead and make sure that you are registered before the election.

Oh really? It hasn't exactly been a disaster for us.
